Meanwhile, back on the balcony, the rest of the Town Council has just
followed the Mayor out of the window. Could it be some form of mass suicide?
That could certainly prove a vote winner in the next local elections! Or might
it be something else?

Boy, it's really chucking it down now. The rain is absolutely pinging down. I
can hear it ricochet around the square. Just a minute, I've heard of acid rain
but this appears to be metal rain!

Aha, it's the ritual chucking of the pennies to the town urchins. This
ancient tradition of throwing coins into a crowd is known as the
'JamieCarragher'! (Obscure footie joke).

There then follows an unseemly outbreak of greed and avarice as people
scramble in an undignified manner for money. This is traditionally regarded as
symbolising the advent of a new tourist season!

The Town Council gives away free money ...

... and are ritually worshipped in return by the grateful
commoners.

Meanwhile, the Mayor and fellow sufferers have spotted that
Vile Jelly creature who writes all that scurrilous stuff about the town
and line up a series of head shots!

Finally, when the Mayor and her band have run out of ammo they retire to the
safety of the council offices while they unleash the official Town Vampire to
disperse any unclaimed small children.

Go home, kiddywinks, or I shall be forced to feed on the
blood of your living bodies.

Talking of which, has made me fell rather peckish ...

... aha, this one seems to be unattended.

A quick swirl of the cloak and it's all over. Bwa ha ha ha
ha!

And that's it, another Feast Day over.

I do hope that all made sense. The cameras very nearly short-circuited in all
the rain and I think my brain (such as it is) may have got a bit waterlogged as
well. Anyway, this is how it all seemed at the time!

PS. Oh, and yes, the rugby match was cancelled. So, at least that part of the
tradition went to plan!
